1. Safety Precautions and Warnings

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan

tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following
safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

 Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
 Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
 Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from

all moving or hot engine parts.

 Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases

are poisonous.

 Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle

unattended while running tests.

 Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,

distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These
components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.

 Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or

NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking
brake is engaged.

 Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/ electrical

fires nearby.

 Don‘t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the

ignition is on or the engine is running.

 Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a

mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan
tool, when necessary.
